Haney Genealogy & History

Haney is an Irish, English, and Scottish surname of uncertain origin. The Irish branch, in Londonderry since feudal times, may be an Anglicized verson of the Gaelic "O hEanna," descendant of Eanna, a name of several ancient saints. Etymologists do not concur on the origin of the English and Scottish branches, suggesting Old English "hana" or "heghen", Old Norse "hagni" or "hadna" or "hani", and Old German "hagen", with such variations as Hainey, Heagney, Heaney, Heeney, Hegeany, Hegney, and Heyne making Haney genealogy complex. Haney family history is concentrated in the English-Scottish borderlands in feudal times, and the first Haney emigrant was to Virginia in 1622.
